Test Bench Solar Power Measurement

Abstract

Abstract - Solar energy is increasingly being used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Solar energy is a kind of renewable energy derived from the sun's heat. India will have 34,627 MW of solar power built by 2020. An experimental system for measuring solar panel power was established in this research. This current has been used to monitor voltage and light intensity. The sun has a declination angle of +23.5 degrees and a declination angle of -23.5 degrees with respect to the earth. An incandescent bulb light is used to mimic the sun, with the angles carefully adjusted. This diagram shows the variance in solar power output at the load side, as well as the power and load resistance.

An incandescent light bulb is used to create light intensity for the solar panel. Using a voltage regulator, the light intensity was varied. Voltmeter and ammeter measurements are used to calculate the power. Solar energy is used to mimic the properties of solar panels' output power. To move from east to west, the model of the sun was turned into an incandescent bulb light and set on the circular iron track. With the aid of a D.C speed regulator, you may adjust the bulb's position and light intensity. The solar panel is positioned such that it may easily move to various orientations. Calculate the power with the use of a voltmeter and an ammeter. Resistance is compared to power, which is the only source of energy. The important intention of this paper is to ascertain that the most electricity output occurs when a resistor bank is used as a load.
